Default Who rides Fulltime?

When I say fulltime I mean that your bike is your only mode of transport year round

For some this is not possible due to snow and stuff, but living in California I have this option and have been putting a lot of thought to it.....

Just looking for others experiences....

Thumbs up Full time riding

Unless there is ice on the streets I ride every day of the year. I have an Acura TSX but I never use it.

well livin' in the snow means when it's stored I ride the city transit (hop on the bus Gus!) during the winter, other than that... yeah it's my primary source of transportation rain or shine & thank the GODS I've been able to get out these past 2 weeks!!!

Mine is my full-time, only vehicle. When I do my grocery shopping, I just toss on the throw-over saddlebags and make one or two trips depending on time of year (cold weather months I of course try to go less often, so will do my months shopping in 2 or 3 trips that one day). I guess I'm full of it too, eh, cadman you moron?

Starting April 1st, I relinquish my auto parking spot at work for a much much cheaper motorbike one. I'll then be back riding full time mode. Unless it snows again, then I'll have to find a different way to the office.
